Bug Description
Hi,
This is on Jammy LTS.
I can not add a security device into Firefox. The smart cards I'm using requires a closed source client software (mPollux DigiSign client) available here: https:/
Loading the module fails with a generic message "Unable to load module" (or the equivalent in the language configured for Firefox). As a general troubleshooting step I reverted Firefox to the non-sandboxed, non-snap version from the ppa ppa:mozillateam
Possibly related (duplicate?): bug #1951646 . I'm not sure about the duplicateness, however it is possible in case the underlying cause is the same.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a smart card and a reader requiring to use mPollux DigiSign client (it would be interesting to test other PKCS#11 modules, other smart card modules or any security device in Firefox and see if it works)
2. Try to add a security device in Firefox via Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Security Devices
3. Navigate to the needed .so (in my case: /usr/lib64/
Observed results:
Adding the module fails with a very generic and vague error message.
Expected results:
Adding the module should succeed.
